PAULOS AT EPHESUS
And so be it, while Apollos is at Corinth, Paulos passes through the upper parts and comes to Ephesus: and finding some disciples, 2 he says to them, Having trusted, have you taken the Holy Spirit? And they say to him, We have not even heard if there be any Holy Spirit. 3 And he says to them, To what then were you baptized? And they say, To the baptism of Yahn. 4 And Paulos says, Yahn indeed baptized the baptism of repentance, wording to the people to trust in him who comes after him - that is, in the Messiah Yah Shua. 5 When they hear, they are baptized in the name of Adonay Yah Shua: 6 and when Paulos puts his hands on them, the Holy Spirit comes upon them; and they speak with tongues and prophesy. 7 - and in all, there are about twelve men. 8 And for three months he enters the synagogue emboldened - reasoning and convincing concerning the sovereigndom of Elohim: 9 but when some harden and distrust, and vilify that way in the sight of the multitude he departs from them; and sets apart the disciples, dialoguing daily in the school of one Tyrannus: 10 and these become for two years, so that all who settle in Asia hear the word of Adonay Yah Shua - both Yah Hudiym and Hellenes. 11
THE DYNAMIS OF ELOHIM THROUGH PAULOS And it is no ordinary dynamis that Elohim does through the hands of Paulos: 12 so that, from his skin, they bring sudarium or aprons to the frail; and the diseases release from them and the evil spirits go from them. 13 And some of the wandering Yah Hudiym - exorcists take in hand to name the name of Adonay Yah Shua over those having evil spirits, wording, We oath you by Yah Shua whom Paulos preaches. 14 And there are some seven sons of Sceva - a Yah Hudiy and archpriest, who do thus. 15 And the evil spirit answers, saying, Yah Shua I know and Paulos I understand! But who are you? 16 And the human in whom the evil spirit is leaps on them and rules over them and prevails against them - so that they escape from that house naked and traumatized. 17 And this becomes known to all the Yah Hudiym and Hellenes also settling at Ephesus; and awe falls on them all; and the name of Adonay Yah Shua is magnified. 18 And many who trust, come and avow and evangelize of their acts. 19 Many of them also who transacted magic bring their scrolls together and burn them in the sight of all: and they reckon the price of them and find it five myriads of silver. 20 Thus powerfully the word of Elohim grows and prevails. 21 After these fulfill/shalam, Paulos places in the spirit, when he passes through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Yeru Shalem, saying, After my being there, I must also see Rome. 22 And he apostolizes two who minister to him to Macedonia - Timo Theos and Erastus; he himself stays in Asia for a time. 23
TROUBLE OF THE SILVERSMITHS
And at that season, there being no small trouble concerning that way, 24 someone named Demetrius - a silversmith who makes silver naves for Artemis, presents no small work to the technicians; 25 whom he gathers together with the workers of such occupation, and says, Men, you understand that by this work we prosper: 26 moreover you observe and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but throughout nearly all Asia, this Paulos convinces and removes a vast multitude; wording that no elohim becomes through hands: 27 so that not only this our part comes in peril to disrepute; but also that the priestal precinct of the mega goddess Artemis is reckoned as naught, and her majesty is about to be taken down - whom all Asia and the world venerates. 28 And hearing these, they become full of fury, they cry out, wording, Mega! Artemis of the Ephesians! 29 And the whole city fills/shalams with confusion: and catching Gaius and Aristarchus, men - Macedonians, co-travellers of Paulos, they run violently in unanimity into the theatre. 30 And Paulos wills to enter to the public, and the disciples allow him not: 31 and some of the Asiarchs - his friends, send to him, entreating him to not give himself into the theatre. 32 So others indeed cry out one, and some another; for the ecclesia is confused: and most of them know not for what cause they come together. 33 And having previously instigated Alexander from the multitude, the Yah Hudiym put him forward: and Alexander signals with the hand, and wills to plead to the public: 34 but knowing he is Yah Hudiy, there becomes as one cry from all for about two hours, Mega - Artemis of the Ephesians! 35 And the scribe, quieting the multitude, says, Men - Ephesians, indeed, what human is there who knows not that the city of the Ephesians is a nave sweeper of the mega goddess Artemis, and of the meteorite? 36 So seeing, and being unquestionable, you must be quiet and transact naught precipitously. 37 For you bring these men here, who are neither strippers of priestal precincts, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. 38 So indeed, if Demetrius and the artisans with him have a word against any man, have them lead a forum debate; and there are proconsuls: have them accuse one another. 39 But if you seek aught concerning any other matters, resolve it by the ecclesia under the torah. 40 For we are in peril of being accused about the riot of this day, there being no cause concerning which we can give word of this coalition. 41 - and he says these, and releases the ecclesia.
